    I'll never support this ill-founded idea of invisibly "verbing" property
    access. When I say foo.bar, I want to see the property "bar" on object
    "foo", and not what someone decides I *should* be seeing instead.  Are we
    going to have to design a builtin to mean "I really want the property, no I
    really mean it, no, I don't want to go through channels, just connect me to
    the property."
